TO CURL HAIR
For best results, use a light styling product
before blow-drying hair.
1Take a 1" wide section of hair, starting 2"
from the scalp.
2
Wind the section of hair around the thicker
portion of the barrel towards the cool tip.
3Hold the end of the hair in place at the
cool tip for 5-8 seconds depending on hair
type, and then release. No clamp allows you
to easily curl hair without kinks. For tighter,
bouncier curls, roll less hair. For loose, free
flowing curls, roll more hair. To "set" the curl,
do not comb or brush hair until it cools.
4Repeat process on additional sections of
hair until you achieve the hair style you desire.
Some experience is necessary when learning
to use this curling wand. After using several
times, you will learn the ideal way to curl and
style your hair.
Never leave your curling wand on and
unattended. However, should you fail to turn
the wand off, it will shut itself off automatically
within 60 minutes.
USING INSTANT HEAT, THE 5 ULTRA-HIGH
HEAT TEMPERATURE SETTINGS
This styling wand features a ceramic heater that
maintains constant temperature during use for
precision styling.
This Instant Heat technology has 5 ultra-high heat
temperature settings. There is a temperature range
that’s gentle and safe for every type of hair, from
the finest to the most resistant, and helps you
create the look you want.
UNIFORM HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM
Conair’s professional salon standards of engi-
neering provide you with a uniform and improved
heat recovery system that maintains the wand
at constant temperatures. There is a constant
surge of power to ensure that heat is continu-
ously and quickly delivered for optimal styling
results, unlike other units, which lose heat dur-
ing use. This provides consistent styling power
so that every strand of your hair is set with the
same level of heat and comes out the same way
for a perfect finish.

OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This curling wand is professional and is not
intended for household use.
Use on Alternating Current (60 hertz) only. This
unit is designed to be operated at 125V AC.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). As a safety feature,
this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat
this safety feature.
IMPORTANT
An optional heat glove has been supplied to help
protect the hand from temporary contact with the
barrel when wrapping the hair around the appli-
ance. Please note the heat glove is only designed
to give initial contact protection. Discomfort will
be caused with prolonged contact with the hot
surface.
GETTING STARTED
Hair should be clean and completely dried before
using the curling wand. Plug the wand into an
electrical outlet. Turn on unit. The Power/Low 285˚F
(140°C) setting will become illuminated. Allow unit
to heat up for 30 seconds.
WARNING: The curling wand’s barrel will get
very hot within a few seconds and should not
be placed in contact with the skin after the
curling wand has been turned on.
The wand’s unique 5 ultra-high heat temperature
settings and Instant Heat technology provide
styling versatility for all hair types. If you have
fine hair, a low temperature will provide the
best results. If you have thick, wavy or hard-
to-curl hair, keep the heat setting on high. You
can vary the wand’s temperature according to
your particular need!

THE POWER IS OFF
WHEN THE SWITCH

YOU’RE WRONG.

USER MAINTENANCE
Your curling wand is virtually maintenance-free.
No lubrication is needed. Keep all vents and open-
ings clear of dirt and dust. If cleaning becomes
necessary, disconnect the unit from the power
source, allow to cool and wipe exterior with a
cloth. If any abnormal condition occurs, unplug
the unit, allow it to cool, and return it for repair
to an authorized service representative only. No
repairs should be attempted by the consumer.
CAUTION
NEVER allow the power supply cord to be pulled,
twisted, or severely bent. Never wrap the cord
tightly around the appliance. Damage will occur
at the high flex point of entry into the appliance,
causing it to rupture and short circuit. Inspect the
cord frequently for damage. Stop use immedi-
ately if damage is visible or if unit stops or oper-
ates intermittently.
STORAGE
When not in use, your appliance is easy to store.
Allow appliance to cool, then simply store out of
reach of children in a safe, dry location. Do not
jerk or strain cord at plug connections. Do not
wrap the line cord around the appliance. Allow
the cord to hang or lie loose and straight at the
point of entry into the appliance.
